Patent-Pending SafeSlot

SafeSlot is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance which protect your graphics card investment. Manufactured in a single step using a new injection-molding process
integrates the slot with the fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.

ULTIMATE COOLING

Armored Ports, Add-On Cooling

Strong protection with airflow-boosting potential

Sabertooth 990FX R3.0's connectivity ports are protected by strong armor that also looks just great. And, if you fit an additional fan*, the port armor boosts airflow for the best possible cooling — with temperature reductions of up
to 11°C!

* 40mm fans supported, and must be purchased separately

THERMAL RADAR 2

Instant fan tuning. Complete system cooling

Thermal Radar 2 lets you control fans on ASUS graphics cards, as well your case fans! Multiple onboard sensors also let you monitor temperatures onboard and other key components in real time, so you can adjust manually or optimize
automatically with one click.

DIGI+ Power Control

You can also choose to optimize the whole system's fan setup with a single click. Based on the characteristics of each fan connected to your motherboard, all fan profiles can be quickly optimized.

SABERTOOTH 990FX R3.0 has customizable settings for its 6 fan headers, offering you maximum control over your build's cooling and quietness. You can even monitor, manage and individually name and control your system's fans
to create your perfect balance between quietness, cooling and performance.

SABERTOOTH 990FX R3.0 Thermal Radar 2's fan management has been expanded — you can control fans on ASUS graphics cards, as well as multiple case fans.

With thermal-status reports showing CPU and graphics cards zone temperature in real-time, your system fan control can be as precise as you like! Additional CPU thermal assessment gauges temperature rises with increasing
voltage, providing a benchmark to judge your CPU cooler's performance.

Critical voltages, temperatures and fan speeds are recorded over time, so you can review your system's history and make informed judgments for improved operation.

DIGI+ Power control is one of the most essential motherboard designs, and TUF offers ultra-precise memory tuning in addition to extra-accurate CPU voltage control. Best in class power efficiency and stability reduces wasteful
voltage discrepancies and provides a more stable CPU and memory setup.

24/7 DURABILITY

You demand 24/7 durability, so we've delivered! TUF motherboards undergo the industry's most-punishing tests to ensure they're ready for permanent duty in all scenarios. In our development labs we heat them, chill them, bend them,
shock them and drop them — so you know that your TUF motherboard is certified for 24/7 durability!

With three USB 3.1 Type-A ports for complete backward-compatibility with existing USB devices and one reversible 3.1 Type-C for any-way-up convenience, you're all ready for breakneck speeds of up to 10Gbps — or twice as fast USB
3.0. And ASUS exclusive USB 3.1 Boost technology automatically accelerates USB 3.1 performance even further!

turbo lan

Turbo LAN with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping technology adds even more lag-reducing support and intuitive user interface. It allows you to lower lag with no expert knowledge – by up to 1.45X! If you're a tweaker, use Advanced Mode
for hardcore controls.

TUF Audio Design

TUF Audio Design makes short work of optimizing audio settings for the way you want to listen, chatting, watching movies or relaxing to your favorite music. Onboard physical shielding, professional engineered design and premium components
result in sound output that has exceptional clarity and fidelity.

Separate layers for left and right channels to guard the quality of the sensitive audio signals
